tell those retards to go hide under a rock! raising or lowering car does NOT change the corner weight. corner weight = weight at each tire 
basically you want your front left tires to equal your right rear and rear left to equal front right.

as you see each line has to equal the other tires weight so basically the weight at each wheel is the same so car is very neutrally balanced. sounds hard isnt it? well it is incolves moving stuff around inside the car. very hard to get perfect but try to be as good as possible. so forget corner weighing your car each time you change heigh
go get an alignment instead

including driver position.
but how can you know for sure that the coilovers are lowered the same at each corner ? the coilovers aren't that precise as far as i know. what if the car as 4 differents heights at each corner ? It may not be detectable to the eye, but could it affect handling ? i think that's what the guy was talking about... maybe not
